Diet soda cupcakes, so they're more WW-friendly!

Damn Aunt Flo makes me put on the oven when it's warm outside..

Heehee...it's so easy and I was craving it big time. Happened to have some diet Sprite in the house (I never really drink soda) and felt that that was a sign from the cupcake gods that baking some were in order.

How do you make diet soda cupcakes? That sounds great?!

i love that! you basically take any cake mix, ex- 'devils food' and mix in a can of diet coke. So you're only really eating the fat/cals listed on the cake mix box minus the eggs, oil etc.... it tastes exactly the same!

Yup, exactly!
I live alone so I usually only make half a box of mix w/ half a can of diet soda. Since diet soda has no cals/fat, as Jen said, you only count the calories on the box. If you're doing cupcakes, the boxes usually count out their nutritional info as 1/12 of the mix, which is two cupcakes. Bake it as the box tells you to; I find that when it suggests a range of time (ie., '18 to 22 minutes') it's usually ready in about 18 or 19 minutes, so make sure to check on 'em!

You can mix it up. My personal favorite is the funfetti mix w/ diet sprite (I like the little colors in the cake, LOL)...but you can do yellow cake w/ diet orange, chocolate cake w/ diet cherry coke, etc.

As for frosting, you can either use regular and count the points (if you get a whipped frosting, the cals are a little lower, I think...just check before you buy!) or use fat-free sugar-free cool whip, if you like that stuff. I hated cool whip until I began WW last year...now it doesn't bother me.

I swear, no one will taste the difference in the cake.

I'm not sure if it works in muffin mix; has anyone else tried doing this?

I'll ask a WW friend at work and see if they've tried this
